IFBB & OLYMPIC FAMILY:
The International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness is recognized by many of the most prestigious International Sport Associations, as they are
GAISF (Global Association of International Sport Organizations), OCA (Olympic Council of Asia), Panamsports (Panamerican Sports Organization), ONOC
(Oceania National Olympic Organizations), amongst many others.
All these recognitions have brought IFBB to be included in several Regional Games, organized by Olympic Organizations, as it is the case of the
Bolivarian Games and Beach Games (by ODEBO), the South American Games (by ODESUR), the Central American Games (by ORDECA), the Pan-
American Games (by Panamsports), the Asian Beach Games (by the Olympic Council of Asia).
The incorporation of our sport in all this Games is a great source of inspiration for all the athletes and officials, contributing and helping to educate
them in the principles of Fair play, clean sport and solidarity.
